Hardware Installation
This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap
before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage the system’s components.
CPU Processor Installation
This mainboard supports Intel
®
Core
TM
2 Duo Mobile processors using a Socket P. Before building
your system, we suggest you to visit the Intel website and review the processor installation
procedures. http://www.intel.com
CPU Socket P Configuration Steps:
1. Use a screwdriver to turn the screw counter-clockwise until the dot on the screw points to the
“unlocked” sign. (3 o’clock position)
2. On the socket, locate the pin-1 receptor. Match the Pin-1 marker on the CPU with the pin-1
receptor of the socket and then gently lower the CPU onto the socket. Do not use force as it will
result in bent pins.
3. Next, turn the screw clockwise until it points to the “locked” sign (9 o’clock position) — this will
lock the CPU into the socket.

4. Smear thermal grease on the top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU/ socket and secure
it using the attachments or screws provided on the fan. Finally, attach the fan power cord to the
CPUFAN header.
FAN Headers: CPUFAN, AUXFAN
There are two fan headers available for cooling fans. These cooling fans play an important role in
maintaining ambient temperatures in your system. The CPUFAN header is attached with a CPU
cooling fan. The AUXFAN header is attached with another cooling fan.

Attention
DO NOT touch the CPU pins in case they are damaged. Also, make sure
that you have completed all installation steps before powered on the
system. Finally, double-check that the cooling fan is properly installed and
the CPU fan power cord is securely attached, in case
your CPU and other
sensitive components are damaged because of high temperatures.
Attention
You can avoid damaging your CPU due to high temperatures with
proper cooling equipment. It is recommended that attach
a cooling fan
on top of your CPU. Use the CPUFAN header to attach the fan cord.
On most fan power cord, the black wire of the fan cable is the “Ground”
and should be attached to pin-1 of the header.

Memory Installation: DDRII2
The PI965GME provides one DDRII SO-DIMM sockets with Dual Channel Technology supported. This
sockets allow you to install 200-pin, non-ECC & unbuffered DDR II 667/ 533/ 400 SO-DIMM, supporting
to install a total memory capacity of 1 GB.
Memory Installation Steps:
Match the notch on the bottom of the DIMM module with the corresponding pattern in the DIMM slot.
This will ensure that the module will be inserted with the proper orientation. Now the chips or pins at
the bottom of the DIMM module are still visible.
Lower the DIMM module into the DIMM Slot until the chips or pins at the bottom of the DIMM module
are hidden.
Press the DIMM module backward firmly using both thumbs until the module snaps into place. Do not
use excessive force.
Mainboard PI965GME

Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 for the remaining DIMM modules.
Back Panel Configuration
PS/2 Mouse & PS/2 Keyboard Ports: KB/MS
This mainboard provides a standard PS/2 mouse port and a PS/2 keyboard port.
DVI Connectors: DVI
DVI connector delivers the digital signals, and is able to connect with LCD display, plasma display, or
other display device which with the DVI interface compatible.
The VGA (D-SUB) Connector: VGA
The mainboard provides one VGA connector (= D-Sub connector) on back panel.
VGA connector (= D-Sub connector) delivers the analogy signals, and is able to connect with
traditional CRT display, flat display, or other display device which with the D-Sub interface
compatible.
TV OUT Connector: TV_OUT
The TV_OUT connector is used to connect to high quality video equipment and TVs that support the
YPbPr standard. The three cables used in YPbPr connection provide higher quality than single-wire
composite cable commonly used to hook up video equipment. TV_OUT is converted from the RGB
video signal, which is split into three components, Y, Pb and Pr.
The pictures above are for reference only. Your actual installation may
vary slightly from the pictures.
Mainboard PI965GME

Y carries luminance information.
Pb carries the difference between blue and luminance (B - Y).
Pr carries the difference between red and luminance (R - Y).
S/PDIF OUT Connector: SPDIF OUT
S/PDIF is a recent audio transfer file format, which provides high quality audio using optical fiber and
digital signals. There are one RCA SPDIF OUT connector on the back panel of your case, enabling you
to transmit audio output between your system and the SPDIF devices.
USB Ports/LAN Ports: USBLAN1, USBLAN2
There are four onboard USB 2.0/ 1.1 ports on the back panel. These USB ports are used to attach with
USB devices, such as keyboard, mice and other USB supported devices. There are also two
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN port available for you to attach internet cables.

the system is powered on.
Reset Switch Header: RST_SW
This header can be attached to a momentary SPST switch (reset button) cable on your case front
panel. The switch is normally left open. When the switch closed, it will cause the mainboard to reset
and run the POST (Power-On Self Test).
Speaker Header: SPK1
A speaker cable on your case front panel can be attached to this header. When you reboot the
computer, this speaker will issue a short audible (beep). If there are problems during the Power On
Self-Test, the system will issue an irregular pattern of audible beeps through this speaker.

can attach a maximum of two IDE devices, such as hard disk drive (HDD), CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.
using IDE ribbon cables.
In general, two IDE devices can be attached onto one IDE connector. If you attach two IDE HDDs, you
must configure one drive as the master and the other one as the slave.
Serial ATA Connector: SATA 1/2/3
The three SATA connectors support 3 Gbps data transfer rates, and one SATA connector only can
attach one SATA HDD of each time using SATA cables.
